AB FOCUS  POINTSNoninvasive  positive  pressure  ventilation  and  high-flow  nasal  cannula  are  two  important  management  strategies  for  respiratory  failure  of  diverse  etiologies  in  children.Non-conventional  modes  of  mechanical  ventilation  and  respiratory  adjuncts  are  commonly  employed,  and  frequently  serve  as  rescue  therapies  in  children  with  severe  respiratory  failure.Acute  respiratory  distress  syndrome  is  a  heterogeneous  disease  with  high-mortality  risk  when  associated  with  multi-organ  failure.Insufficient  oxygen  delivery  to  meet  the  tissue  metabolic  demands  defines  shock.Nutrition  support  and  attention  to  electrolyte  and  glucose  derangements  are  important  in  the  care  of  the  critically  ill  child.Acute  kidney  injury  is  common  in  critically  ill  children  and  often  requires  treatment  by  renal  replacement  therapy.Sepsis,  commonly  encountered  in  critically  ill  children,  requires  early  recognition  and  early  source  control  for  successful  treatment.Patients  with  traumatic  brain  injury  often  suffer  from  secondary  brain  injury,  which  significantly  increases  morbidity  and  mortality.  Treatment  should  focus  on  reducing  secondary  injury  by  maintaining  an  appropriate  cerebral  perfusion  pressure.Critical  illness  comes  with  the  cost  of  highly  complex  care,  and  as  such,  hospital-acquired  conditions  are  frequent  and  lead  to  an  increased  morbidity  and  mortality.  Every  physician  caring  for  a  critically  ill  child  is  responsible  for  helping  to  prevent  these  conditions.
